I have a LinkStation Pro Quad - LS-QV4.0TL/R5. It was working great up until I moved and had it powered off for a couple months. When I powered it back up, the red light would flash 6 times.

1. re-seated the drives, no change 2. I've reset it according to documentation, and now it flashes red 7 times 3. Only one drive (position #1) lights up. I removed the 1st (of 4) drives, then only drive #2 would light up... same with #3 and #4 4. Won't connect w/NAS navigator2

If you start the NAS and a hard disk is missing, then this hard disk is noted as defects.If you have done this with all disks, then all disks for the NAS are defective and must be formatted.

This will be done if you flash the firmware.

The NAS was working great up until I put it into storage for a couple of months during a move - haven't done a firmware upgrade for at least a year. The drive lights aren't flashing, with all 4 drives in, only drive position #1 lights up (solid). If I take drive #1 out and power on, only drive #2 lights up. Take drive 1 & 2 out and power on, only drive #3 lights up, and same with #4. Unfortunately, I really need the data on these disks...

1) can use my current Windows PC - utilizing 4 sata ports I'm not using, or unplug the Windows hard drives entirely?3) does is matter which order I plug these 4 in?4) do I need an extra drive plugged in as well to copy the recovered data to?
